Lower Robin Hood Field in Helsby is first recorded in 1844. It was named after the Robin Hood pub which was until recently located on the north-eastern corner of Chester Road and Lower Robin Hood Lane. Lower Robin Hood Field lay along the latter lane, opposite Robin Hood Field.

Lower Robin Hood Field is listed in the 1844 tithe award for Helsby with a William Forshaw as owner, John Lewis as occupier, state of cultivation as 'Pasture', and an area of 10 acres, 1 rood and 9 perches (41707.91 m2).[1] It occupied the area from Chester Road in the east and more or less to the end of Lower Robin Hood Lane in the west, stretching about as far south as the two southern side streets of the lane.
